Aakarsh Aithal, Dongjoon Lee, and Dennis Park of the “Coding Cadets” were recently given a 2016 Youth Volunteer Service Award by the City of Cypress’ Parks and Recreation Commission.
The Coding Cadets, which the trio started in the summer of 2015, is a program that educates local teens in webpage programming, teaching computer languages such as HTML and JavaScript to empower future web designers.
The trio approached staff at the Cypress Library to offer coding courses over a period of 10 weeks, with the library providing the laptops and space.
